The world's first Instagram-approved direct messaging & engagement tools. InstaChamp drives Instagram growth and engagement through direct message automation for Creators, Coaches and B2C Brands.
This looks fantastic.
Question for the ?makers
As a solo founder for my new venture I don't have any bandwidth for channels other than Twitter and LinkedIn, so my Instagram account is fairly dormant and largely personal images.
How would you leverage InstaChamp as part of a switch over to branded business content and growth?
This could make a huge difference. Thanks for building it. The CTA feature alone is amazing.
@oligardner Thanks for your feedback Oli! This was very much the same boat that Larry was in about 8 months ago. Then Clubhouse came around and the only way to keep in touch with people after the learning and networking sessions were over was via Instagram. Connecting your relationships from other platforms to Instagram where you can stay in touch and DM was the transformative moment for Larry and all of us at MobileMonkey. Instagram wasn't as scalable before the messaging API that released to GA in June. Now with InstaChamp there's so much you can do to leverage engagement and Instagram DMs.
Introducing InstaChamp by MobileMonkey: The world’s first official tools for messaging at scale on Instagram!
Thanks to Hiten Shah @hnshah for hunting!
What is InstaChamp?
InstaChamp is a suite of Instagram DM (direct message) automation tools, built for creators, influencers, coaches, and e-commerce brands to scale organic engagement and follower growth.
What can you do with InstaChamp's new Instagram growth tools?
✔️ Respond to a virtually infinite number of Instagram direct messages per day.
✔️ Automatically send a "thank you" to everyone who mentions you in their Instagram Story.
✔️ Create a Welcome Message for everyone that sends you a DM for the first time.
✔️ Program DMs to trigger funnels based on keywords.
✔️ Capture leads and save contacts from Instagram followers and fans.
✔️ Create CTAs that increase engagement on Instagram and allow you to easily drive traffic to your website, special offers, and more.
Prior to InstaChamp, the funnel on Instagram was completely broken. The best call-to-action marketers had at their disposal was “click on my bio link.” I’m sorry, but that’s just not good enough!
Lastly, 100% Instagram-approved engagement and automated messaging tools are unicorn-level rare.
Many other software developers have created bots for Instagram that cheat the system and don’t last long on the platform because they go against Instagram's terms of service.
InstaChamp, on the other hand, is 100% Instagram-approved rocket fuel for organic engagement with your brand and your content, allowing you to scale messaging beyond anything Instagram has seen to date.
Please, let us know what you think about InstaChamp and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have, all day today!
@hnshah@kensavage Absolutely. I'm still waiting on an "official video", but I've got one from @neilpatel as well as plenty of GIFs and videos of the product in action. Here's one of our best examples thus far: https://mobilemonkey.com/blog/ho...
And then here's Neil's video of using the Story Mentions tool, which is already super popular with influencers, creators, and those with large follower bases: https://mobilemonkey.com/blog/ne...
Thanks for your support Ken!
@cn__katie Thank you for the support, Katie! The adoption and response has been overwhelming. We can't wait to get InstaChamp into the hands of as many folks using Instagram as their primary platform as possible!
That's a great idea, very exciting! I'll share it with our team.
I understand that the wording of the automated messages and the logic for triggering them will have to be performed manually, right? Do you have plans to start using AI at some point, either to help with the wording (e.g., automatically generating variations around the default message, so that it sounds less robotic) or to help with the logic, or both?
In any case, congratulations for your launch, and good luck in gaining traction!
@christian_schierenbeck Hi Christian! Thanks so much for the comment and your insights are right on track.
We do use some machine learning and not everything has to be exact match, but we find (for now at least) that exact match produces better results.
One thing that really helps is allowing folks to "choose your own journey" with menu-based chatbots that use buttons. Here's an example use case from @TheInstagramExperthttps://mobilemonkey.com/blog/in...
Looks like an awesome product.
In the launch email it said it is available for accounts 1k - 100k but when I go to use it there is a limitation that says only 10k and above. Is that supposed to change anytime soon or is it still a 10k limit?
@jeremy_r_wells Hi Jeremy! Thank you for letting us know. We were told by Facebook that today eligibility would open up to all accounts with over 1K followers and less than 100K followers.
I'll see where that stands, but I assure you you'll have access within the next 24 hours, barring an unexpected occurrence on Facebook's side of things.
Thanks so much for your patience!
@vincemagaline no worries and thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if it was a Facebook thing or a typo in the email. I'm very excited to experiment with this new product. Thanks to you guys for putting it together and making it happen. I think a lot of people will find it useful.
@jeremy_r_wells Quick update, I just learned that with the first rollout to eligible users with 10K to 100K Followers, it took about 24 hours to go into full effect for everyone. Our estimate is that you and anyone with 1K to 100K followers will be all set by tomorrow morning! Exciting!
@alex_terentiev Pretty accurate, yes. The key difference is that we partner with Instagram, so none of these automations will get your account banned or generate fake followers. The tools are solely focused on both generating more organic engagement (which is what Instagram's algorithm loves) and giving larger accounts the ability to respond to all of their incoming DMs.
I actually wrote a couple articles about how InstaChamp is different than a Follower/Like Bot or a Comment Bot. Check it out if you like :) https://mobilemonkey.com/blog/in...
It helps those who sell courses, trainings, automates customer support as well those who are bored from manual responds to followers. Next big thing in social media engagement.
This unlocks so much potential for businesses! I would love to explore this with our magazine brands. I have a question, as well — with a large audience, how many messages can you send per day? Or is it limitless?
@kristi_kellogg Hi Kristi! Thanks so much for comment and question. We have some clients doing well over 100K messages per week. I may need to get back to you on whether there's an actual limit or not...but I do know that send limits with Instagram can be exceeded by using InstaChamp.
@kristi_kellogg Hi Kristi, could I put you in touch with the right person at MobileMonkey? Eric Gordon on our team would love to explore how InstaChamp can help with your magazine brands and anything else.
Some contact info if you'd like us to make some time for you :)

Instagram finally approved a solution for automating DMs and DM automation turns Instagram into a direct response marketing machine. Love the ease of setting up these Instagram DM automations - grows followers and engagement and lead capture... it's the best thing to happen to Instagram for marketers in years!
@rubenwolff they were. 2 years ago called direct hereof. To which Facebook ripped their code based and then created an API for it, that now companies like this use :)
@rubenwolff We actually partnered with Facebook/Instagram on this, so the reason it hasn't existed is because previously that API access wasn't available to anyone and Instagram would have likely shut down any tools attempting these automations otherwise.
So yes, definitely the right observation, Ruben! Thanks so much for your comment and support!
This product is a game changer for Instagram. What I like is it's ease of use on mobile and that it's an officially approved by Instagram. It's so easy to build a list right inside your dm's. The team behind Instachamp is amazing!
I am familiar with MobileMonkey for Facebook, it worked well for me. I am wondering if it's the same on Instagram, if yes, should be great for marketers to build the community and generate leads.
@sergey_rusak Hi Sergey! There definitely are similarities between the two products. To get the best overview of what's available for InstaChamp, I'd recommend checking out this article of mine: https://mobilemonkey.com/blog/in...
I've been using MobileMonkey for Instagram DM automation for a couple of months (yes, I was a lucky beta tester, approved by IG) and it's changed the way I do business. I'm getting 50 webinar registrations a day using it and also responding to 100s of messages. It's actually saved the work of one full time VA, who is now using that time better elsewhere! MM for the win!
Larry Kim has solved the IG DM frustration!!
Thxs to Mobile Monkey we can strategically nurture relationships in the DM and give each person what they need and what thru automation from Beth my 🤖
As someone who has been teaching IG Marketing for 9 years I have spent countless hours in the DM and NOW I have time to focus more on teaching and educating others how to make an impact using Instagram as the best marketing tool of the decade.
Larry’s team has been working very closely with the SBZteam making changes and improvements from our suggestions.
We are alllll about being authentic and giving the best service to EVERYONE and MM makes it so much easier and efficient.
